The Ballard Mallard

Submit a Grievance

Something in Ballard drove you insane this week. Tell us about it.

We want your complaints. Bad drivers. Worse landlords. The coffee shop that raised prices but also shrank the cups. The neighbor who runs their leaf blower at 7 a.m. on a Sunday. Keep it under 200 words. Keep it about behavior, institutions, or situations, not individuals in vulnerable positions. Punch up or punch sideways, never down.

What We Publish

  • Grievances about businesses that can take it
  • Traffic, construction, bad civic decisions
  • People behaving badly in public
  • Landlords, corporations, the Ballard Bridge

What We Don't

  • Names of individual private citizens
  • Grievances about protected classes
  • Harassment with extra steps
  • Anything we can't verify happened

200 words maximum

Cross streets, business, or general area

We edit aggressively. We may combine your grievance with similar ones. We reserve the right to add jokes. If your grievance becomes the grievance of the issue, we'll reach out before running it.
